Chiefs Triumph Over Dolphins in Frigid Playoff Game

Kansas City's Defense Shines as Team Adapts to Offensive Struggles

The Kansas City Chiefs secured a 26-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins in the fourth-coldest game in NFL history, with a kickoff temperature of minus-4 and wind chill of 27 below zero.
Despite an inconsistent group of wide receivers, the Chiefs relied on their defense to secure the win, with the Dolphins managing just 264 yards and going 1 for 12 on third down.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 262 yards and ran for 41 yards, including a scramble that shattered his helmet.
Rookie Rashee Rice had eight catches for 130 receiving yards in his playoff debut, while Isiah Pacheco added 89 rushing yards.
The Chiefs will play a to-be-determined opponent next week, depending on the outcome of the Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh game.
